Simple Command Factory

scf is a simple, small, lightweight command factory. It comes with a command to help boilerplate the creation of more commands, and enough features to get more small tasks completed. Feel free to create issues / contribute!.

Quick Highlight

• I am using this in some current home projects I work on, so I will make sure to maintain package stablility starting at v1.0.0
• This was inspired by Laravels Artisan command and the Symfony Command line packages as well.

Install:

# composer create-project scf/simple-command-factory <app>
composer create-project scf/simple-command-factory simple-command-factory
# or
git clone https://github.com/joshuaGlass808/simple-command-factory.git

cd simple-command-factory/
composer install

After that, feel free to start creating commands:

./scf create:command --command-name='ExampleCommand' --signature='print:message'
# or
php scf create:command --command-name='ExampleCommand' --signature='print:message'

Running the command above will result in this output:

Building file: simple-command-factory/app/Commands/ExampleCommand.php
New class (test) create: simple-command-factory/app/Commands/ExampleCommand.php
Don't forget to add ExampleCommand to the App/Kernel class.

Which creates a file like this:

<?php

namespace App\Commands;

use SCF\Contracts\CommandContract;
use SCF\Commands\BaseCommand;
use SCF\Traits\CommandTrait;

class ExampleCommand extends BaseCommand implements CommandContract
{
    use CommandTrait;

    public string $signature = 'print:message';
    public array $argumentMap = [];

    public function execute(): void
    {
        // Get started!
    }
}

Example command class:

This repo ships with an example command already set up in the App\Commands namespace. Feel free to use it!

<?php declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Commands;

use SCF\Contracts\CommandContract;
use SCF\Commands\BaseCommand;
use SCF\Traits\CommandTrait;
use SCF\Styles\TextStyle;

class ExampleCommand extends BaseCommand implements CommandContract
{
    use CommandTrait;

    public string $signature = 'print:message';
    public array $argumentMap = [
        '--message=' => 'Message to be printed',
        '--show'     => 'For boolean style flags, leave out the = at the end. Default is false unless used'
    ];

    /**
     * Method called to run the command.
     */
    public function execute(): void
    {
        // Get started!
        $start = microtime(true);
        $args = $this->getArgs();
        if ($args['show']) {
            $start = microtime(true);
            $this->success("Message: {$args['message']}\n");
        }
        $this->warn("Environment: {$this->env['ENV']}\n");
        $this->warn("Config DB Driver: {$this->config['database-driver']}\n");
        $this->output('Execution took: ' . (microtime(true) - $start) . " seconds\n", TextStyle::CYAN);
    }
}

Before we can use this, make sure we register it in App\Kernel. In Kernel.php:

use App\Commands\ExampleCommand;

...

	/**
	 * Register your Commands here.
	 */
	const COMMANDS = [
		ExampleCommand::class,
	];

Example usage:

./scf -h
./scf --help
./scf create:command --command-name='DesktopImageRotator'

./scf print:message --message='hello world' --show
#
# OUTPUT: hello world

# without the --show flag, show will default to false and not show the message
./scf print:message --message='hello world'

Once you register that new commands in the Kernel you will be able to see them inside of the help message

Example help:

$ ./scf -h
Usage: ./scf <command:signature> [--args=...]
       ./scf -h

    create:command
        --path= : override default path (app/Commands/).
        --command-name= : Name of the command class you wish to create.
        --signature= : set the signature

    print:message
        --message= : Message to be printed
        --show : For boolean style flags, leave out the = at the end. Default is false unless used

Options:
    --help|-h : Display this help message.

Documentation

Somethings that may not have been shown in the examples above:

• Colored text in command classes
  • $this->output('string', TextColor::CYAN);
  • $this->warn('Outputs yellow text');
  • $this->success('Outputs green text');
  • $this->error('Outputs red text');
  • $this->error('String', true); // True will log the string as well

Coming Soon

• A way to set command line arguments as required and some sort of type inforcer to some extent.
